West Ham United manager David Moyes has heaped glowing praise on midfielder Declan Rice after his stunning goal against Gent in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.
The Hammers booked their place in the competition’s semi-finals with a 5-2 aggregate win and a 4-1 second-leg victory, with Michail Antonio scoring goals either side of finishes from Lucas Paqueta (penalty) and Rice.
West Ham captain Rice made it 3-1 within two minutes of Paqueta’s second-half penalty, dribbling the ball 60 yards from his own half into the Gent penalty area before providing a superb finish to seal the tie for David Moyes’ side.
